“A blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it.” - Marcus AureliusLife throws a lot at us, most of it we can't control and most of it we never see coming. Often times we feel helpless, mad, demoralized because of unforeseen events and trials but does it have to be this way? The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche taught that human greatness lied in one central principle; Amor Fati. He stated:  “That one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backwards, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it….but love it.”It is not enough for us to tolerate trials, it's not enough to bear them so we must accept them, embrace and love them! When we look at troublesome circumstances and realize they are an opportunity to learn and become better we not only fundamentally change the way we look at things but we change who we are.
